This is Me...

Poet. Lover of 140 characters with that little blue bird called Twitter. I am a hodgepodge of sorts. You know, the greatness that comes from a smorgasbord filled with little tidbits of passion, truth, change, growth, and desire for a better day. I am a writer. I am an artist. I am a music aficionado. I am an advocate. I am a complete bibliophile. I am a proud Geek. I have a weird obsession with Scrabble. I'm different, but that's okay. Loving God, and practice tolerance and love as my foremost religion, regardless if you're an atheist or a Buddhist monk. Because love makes the world go around, people.
